Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza may have put a vice-grip on the Heisman Trophy with his four-touchdown performance in the Hoosiers’ blowout win over Wisconsin on Saturday.The junior moved from being a co-favorite at +175 along with Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin at BetMGM last week to the -115 favorite on Monday. That’s well ahead of Sayin, who had another strong outing in the Buckeyes’ 48-10 trouncing of UCLA.Sayin now has 25 touchdowns against four interceptions on the season, but he is at the helm of an offense chock full of NFL talent. Mendoza has thrown 30 TDs against five interceptions and his monster game in the 31-7 win over the Badgers came on the heels of what might have been his “Heisman moment” with a game-winning touchdown at Penn State.The only other player with shorter than +2200 odds is Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed, who remained in the conversation at +500 after leading the Aggies’ massive second-half comeback against South Carolina.Mendoza is the -105 favorite at DraftKings, followed by Sayin at +170, Reed at +500 and Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia at +1500.HEISMAN TROPHY ODDS*PLAYER, POS, TEAM, OPEN, WEEK 12, CURRENTFernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (+5500), (+175), (-115)Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State (+2000), (+175), (+225)Marcel Reed, QB, Texas A&M (+4000), (+750), (+500)Diego Pavia, QB, Vanderbilt (+12500), (+2500), (+2200)Gunner Stockton, QB, Georgia (+3500), (+3000), (+2500)Haynes King, QB Georgia Tech (+9000), (+10000), (+3500)Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (+5000), (+4000), (+4000)
